5.00Chase our host was amazing. Not only did we have a great time seeing sights on our way to the summit but we also learned alot about the Hawaiian language and culture along the way. I would highly recommend this tour…just make sure and ask for Chase
The crater was wonderful,...

4.00The crater was wonderful, the driver was great. You told us a lot about the crater. A lot about the area and the volcano. The only thing that was disappointing was we had thought that the vodka tasting was included in the cost of this excursion, and it was not. We had been on other distillery tours.And this was really just dinner that we had to purchase on our own.
Three cheers for Chad!

5.00I cannot recommend Aloha Eco Adventures highly enough. We did the full-day Haleakala tour on my birthday (1/26) and then the full-day Road to Hana tour the following day. I have reviewed both separately. Chad (aka Shaun, IYKYK) was our driver for Haleakala, and he was FABULOUS. He knew so much information about the area and was great with witty banter (we were the only people on this specific tour, and my aunt has a *unique* sense of humor, so he totally rolled with it!). He offered to make a lunch stop at a neat little food truck campus on our way to Haleakala, but we opted to skip it since we had a late (and large) breakfast. We got a few great photo ops on the way up the mountain. We thoroughly enjoyed the various stops throughout the National Park and Chad was so helpful as far as taking photos for us. Wrapping up the tour and having my birthday dinner at Ocean Vodka was an unforgettable experience. The food was fantastic (think pizzas, burgers, etc) and we crushed some espresso martinis. The sunset was incredible and we were sad to say goodbye! Both tours were AWESOME and I would highly recommend either (or both, like we did!). We were picked up right at our hotel both days, which saved us from needing a car rental or an expensive Uber ride. Can't say enough good things about this company!
The Road to Hana! Bryan's version.

5.00Haleakala was raining and cloudy so we were given the option of The road to Hana tour.although we had done it ten years ago,we took the option. Bryan, our guide, was very knowledgeable and a great driver on this challenging road. He made the tour very entertaining and relatively easy. I highly recommend this tour company and Bryan. It's SOOOO much better when the driving is done by an experienced driver.
